About This Item
London: Granta Books, 2001. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), decorative black & white text-photos, minor edgewear. 254 pp. In a phenomenon too prevalent to be mere chance, little girls all over the Western world woke one day to find themselves completely taken over by the love of all things equine. The author, Melissa Holbrook Pierson, was one of those horse-crazy girls who later returned to riding with a new appreciation for the nature of horses. Melding memoir, sociology, history, anecdote, and a bit of prose poetry, this book delves beneath the shallow hypotheses explaining women's connection to horses to look at how this communication with another animal opens us up to a new apprehension of the larger 'natural' world.
